The area stretches from the central highlands in the north through an isthmus to the Nusa Dua Peninsula, also known as Bukit Badung.

• Gianyar Regency : located at the central of Bali as the second most populated region of Bali, is the cultural heart of the island. The highland town of Ubud, in particular, has acquired a reputation as a center of art after several foreign artists settled there in the 1920's 1930's and 1950's. Geographically, the region is very distinct.

• Jembrana Regency : This regency is thought to have been established in the early 1400's, although civil war broke out and the regency became part of the Badung regency. In the 17th century, sparsely populated Jembrana was not of much interest to the other royal Balinese kingdoms and for a time it was ruled over by a prince from Sulawesi. Jembrana was one of the first kingdoms to surrender to the invading Dutch in the 1800's.

• Karangasem Regency : during the 18th and 19th centuries Karangasem was the most powerful kingdom in Bali but in the middle of the 19th C, it became a vassal of Lombok. Covering 861 sq. km, the district of Karangasem is well known for its breathtaking landscape formed by lava flows from Gunung Agung, the sacred mountain of Bali. Beautiful terraced paddy fields lie at the lower southeastern slopes of the district while coffee and clove plantations are found higher up

• Klungkung Regency : meaning" happiness" or "beauty" is Bali's smallest district, lying on the southeastern coast of Bali, including the islands of Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and Ceningan. The great Unda River flows through this district and passes through many beautiful villages. Klungkung town, now called Semarapura is a bustling commercial center and its market is the largest in Bali

• Tabanan Regency : covered with mountains in the north, lush paddy fields in the south and coastal sandy beaches, Tabanan lies between the district of Badung in the east, Buleleng in the north and Jembrana in the west. The main attraction in Tabanan is Tanah Lot, a famous seaside temple, though many black sand beaches are also being developed for tourism. Situated near the town of Kediri, Tanah Lot is unquestionably the most famous temple in Bali.
